A baker’s dozen Twitter beer experts

Here’s a Twitter list of 13 fantastic brew junkies spreading their ale knowledge with the world.

It’s no secret I love my beer, and selecting an imperfect beverage is detrimental to a great night out. At least until you’re too drunk to care what you’re drinking.

But sometimes inspiration is needed, a new brand uncovered or an old brand not yet discovered. What flavors go with certain foods? What factors cause the greatest hangovers? Which brands have the highest alcohol content?

While it took me years of professional college boozing to learn the tips and tricks of the trade, there are some people who can school you on beer and save you the trouble of 5 p.m. hangovers before they happen.

Four funny dudes blogging and Tweeting about pubs and beer-related fun. One of their blog entries is titled, “LT gets tasered in Arizona for putting a White Castle Candle on a plane to Russia.” Their bio reads, “All we need is a pitcher of cold beer, and the world’s problems. Give us a few minutes, and problem solved!” Can’t argue with that.

“Your Choice. Your Beer. Drink Up.” BeerUniverse reviews three different categories: beer, bars and breweries. A fun Twitter account to follow with a great website dedicated to all things beer culture.

Discover how to create your very own distinct beer flavor. Just make sure you’re not a lousy brew master. Their website (BeerCrafting.com) even offers a book with more than 640 beer recipes – my favorite kind of cookbook.

OK, though technically not a beer Tweeter, Modern Drunkard Magazine has hilarious booze-culture content and Twitter updates. For example: “Nothing like a tall rickety ego to lift you above that ever-rising river of Impending Doom. That and a half dozen bourbons.”
